The Corruptional Facility

By Timothy Cameron

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

A] if Guilt is the Father of Fear, B] and guards have no guilt, then C] Bastards View lonely forgotten armor These sun-emblazoned walls That sleekly belies A beautiful body Whose skin-deep radiance Protects a weary groan Sleeping through earthquakes, I HAVE no pain? Anonymous Grecian statues? Or reflective pools without ripples YOU FREAKISH IMPOSTERS! Pristine.  So very, very still & clean. Permit missing what matters Beneath the armor Please, let me grow! 'It's only a job' paychecks Bleed from our brows and Scar our callouses While advanced careers Right-e-ous-ly Disguise materialism I'm glad THEY got caught! Friday barrooms shine with crooked smiles Cajoling wartime Desk-Joke-ies Inebriated on sweat and blood Slosh onward Toward Nirvana Hangovers Why am I alone?  God loves me, BUT?!  F U! Gloating and bloating Abandoned souls as sponges floating Upon a shallow justice Of STATISTICAL ecstasy Written in tarpit accuracy THIS is a 'State of the Art' facility What's the MEAN-ING of my life? Yet within, within, and deeper within yet again! Suddenly sharpened shadows like daggers lunge Into embattled survivors, niether Seen NOR heard!  No forrest!  No trees! Slink now you great herald of human isolation. Come now, come feed the 'Art of the State'! Can I BE evil, PLEASE (I'm a foregone conclusion?) Sons of "American" Eagles, Canneried in soundproof cages! Singing in the coal mines as they cough up Societal knowledge of love of good of evil! Because 'just Us' flows discordantly like blood~ Into a greedy, greedy pool! Spare change, mistah? Who will step from the shadows, the dead alive? Memorable children yearn once only To live that question, without answers from ourselves Their past Future I forgive you? Suicide! (crying for your children) ROFLMAO! Nonsequitur: Mercy to the innocent is cruelty to the guilty (Matrix Reloaded)~ A] if Guilt is the Father of Fear, B] and guards have no guilt, then C] BastardsIs this too negative?
